The Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) is the main funder of
research activities in Luxembourg. We invest public funds and private
donations into research projects in various branches of science and the
humanities, with an emphasis on selected core strategic areas.
Furthermore, we support and coordinate activities to strengthen the link
between science and society and to raise awareness for research. We
also advise the Luxembourg government on research policy and strategy.
he aim of the INTER mobility programme is to promote the exchange
between research groups from public research institutions in Luxembourg,
and leading research groups abroad. The programme aims to foster
innovative, internationally competitive research – and support
the exchange of key knowledge and technological know-how.
INTER mobility allows for exchanges in both directions:- Researchers working in Luxembourg to go abroad, or
- Researchers from abroad to come to Luxembourg.
Earmarked grants for exchange with RIKEN (Japan) and UC Berkeley (US): The FNR intends to strengthen the cooperation between Luxembourg and specific strong research performers in selected countries. Therefore the FNR earmarks:
- 1 mobility grant for the exchange with RIKEN research centres in Japan.
- 1 mobility grant for the exchange with UC Berkeley in the US.
